It's a horses for courses situation -- each tends to lead to better readability when used in its appropriate context. For instance (to improve on the above example):

   $result = mysql_query(.....) or die(mysql_error());

would need extra parentheses if rewritten using the || operator:

   ($result = mysql_query(.....)) || die(mysql_error());

On the other hand, a construct like:

   $is_valid = $x>0 || $y>0;

would need additional parentheses with or:

   $is_valid = ($x>0 or $y>0);

Cheers!

with OR you can write (and even get desirable result ;) :

$resultSet = mysql_query( abla dabla ) OR die("something");

since it OR has lower precedence than assignment operator =

There's no need to echo your script from php -- just as with large chunks of
regular html, you can drop out of php mode and just write it as you want it:

?>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function myWindow() { alert("javascript from php")}
//-->
</script>

start yourself in a controlled environment, instead of trying to
comeup with the endless ways a number can be formated and remove
all non digits, then simply test the condistion of the string

  if substr(0,1) == 0 || substr(0,1) == 1
    fail
  if substr(0,3) == 555
    fail
  if substr(1,2) == 11
    fail
  if strlen != 7
    fail

First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes
you've been hearing about. No, sir. Our model is the trapezoid!

attached mail follows:

Could someone please help me with my syntax here...?

$MembersDataQry = "SELECT * FROM MembersData
WHERE UserID='$_SESSION['logname']'";

I get an error on line 2 but can't seem to figure out what I've missed.

The variable echoes fine so I know there's a string in there.

To use array values within double quotes you have to put curly braces around
them:
$MembersDataQry = "SELECT * FROM MembersData WHERE
UserID='{$_SESSION['logname']}'";

Or concatenate the string:
$MembersDataQry = "SELECT * FROM MembersData WHERE UserID='" .
$_SESSION['logname'] . "'";

Remember to apply mysql_real_escape_string() on any values used within a
query.

1. You have errors with the ' quote: you use it to wrap the entire array as
well as for the index. That does not work.

2. Try not to put array names within double quotes. PHP has troubles
recognizing where the array start and ends.
Either wrap the array name and indexes in {} (for details check the manual)
or rather jump out of the quotes.

preferred:
$MembersDataQry = 'SELECT *
                         FROM MembersData
                         WHERE UserID="'.$_SESSION['logname'].'";';

Don't argue with machines, just give it what it wants.
Just put the session variable in it's own variable and
pass that to the sql statement.

$logon = $_SESSION['logname'];

$MembersDataQry = "SELECT * FROM MembersData
 WHERE UserID='$logon'";

Remember you can always use curly braces..

"SELECT * from MembersData WHERE UserID = '{$_SESSION['logname']}'"

=======================================
Please feel free to add more points and send
to the list.
=======================================

1. If you have any queries/problems about PHP
try http://www.php.net/manual/en first. You
can download a copy and use it offline also.

Please also try
http://www.php.net/manual/faq.php
for answers to frequently answered questions
about PHP (added by Christophe Chisogne).

2. Try http://www.google.com next. Searching
for "php YOUR QUERY" may fetch you relevant
information within the first 10 results.

3. There is a searchable archive of the
mailing list discussion at
http://phparch.com/mailinglists. Many of the
common topics are discussed repeatedly, and
you may get answer to your query from the
earlier discussions.

For example: One of the repeatedly discussed
question in the list is "Best PHP editor".
Everyone has his/her favourite editor.
You can get all the opinions by going through
the list archives. If you want a chosen list
try this link :
http://www.thelinuxconsultancy.co.uk/phpeditors/
(contributed by Christophe Chisogne).

4. Not sure if PHP is working or you want
find out what extensions are available to
you?

Just put the following code into a file with
a .php extension and access it through your
webserver:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

If PHP is installed you will see a page with
a lot of information on it. If PHP is not
installed (or not working correctly) your
browser will try to download the file.

(contributed by Teren and reworded by Chris W
Parker)

5. If you are stuck with a script and do not
understand what is wrong, instead of posting
the whole script, try doing some research
yourself. One useful trick is to print
the variable/sql query using print or echo
command and check whether you get what you
expected.

After diagnosing the problem, send the
details of your efforts (following steps 1,
2 & 3) and ask for help.

6. PHP is a server side scripting language.
Whatever processing PHP does takes place
BEFORE the output reaches the client.
Therefore, it is not possible to access
users' computer related information (OS,
screen size etc) using PHP. Nor can you
modify any the user side settings. You need
to go for JavaScript and ask the question in
a JavaScript list.

On the other hand, you can access the
information that is SENT by the user's
browser when a client requests a page from
your server. You can find details about
browser, OS etc as reported by
this request. - contributed by Wouter van
Vliet and reworded by Chris W Parker.

7. Provide a clear descriptive subject line.
Avoid general subjects like "Help!!", "A
Question" etc. Especially avoid blank
subjects.

8. When you want to start a new topic, open a
new mail composer and enter the mailing list
address php-generallists.php.net instead of
replying to an existing thread and replacing
the subject and body with your message.

9. It's always a good idea to post back to
the list once you've solved your problem.
People usually add [SOLVED] to the subject
line of their email when posting solutions.
By posting your solution you're helping the
next person with the same question.
[contribued by Chris W Parker]

10. Ask smart questions
http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[contributed by Jay Blanchard)

11. Do not send your email to the list with
attachments. If you don't have a place to
upload your code, try the many pastebin
websites (such as www.pastebin.com).
[contributed by Burhan Khalid]

Hope you have a good time programming with
PHP.

I'm parsing XML files using domDocument and XPath in php5. Works like a

if you're using ->save or saveXML() it should use the initial encoding
(and state that in the <?xml header). Otherwise (eg.
$element->nodeValue) it's always utf-8. You can also read and write
the attribute $doc->encoding to change the output encoding (or to read
the input encoding).

But as a general rule. Except for the load (where it uses the value in
the <?xml header) and save methods , it's always UTF-8.

No, if you access the nodeData with for example ->nodeValue, it's
UTF-8, always. $doc->encoding is only honoured during save() or
saveXML().

It's being copied somewhere. Maybe try this in the loadModule function:
$this->module[$name] =& new $name($this);

You don't need the & for $this as you've defined the function to send
it by reference.

Hi!

I did a search of the PHP manual for these:

-> and ::

I know what they are used for, but what I don't know
is what they are formally called. Can someone tell me
what they are called (short of using the symbol in the
name)?

The PHP manual's search engine returns me (among
others)the "Chapter 10: Operators" page , but I didn't
see the symbols listed there. I also checked the
section for chapters 13 and 14 "classes and object"
and did find the :: listed, but it does not give the
name of the symbol. A search of Google with keywords
"->" or "::" comes back empty.

Thanks,
K.

I don't know what PHP's official name for these operators are but in Perl the "->"
is called the "infix arrow operator" since it lies between its operands (the
instance variable and the attribute or method name). I've seen the "::" referred to
as the "double-colon operator", but I don't know how offical that is either. :)

as far as the :: is, its name (in php): The Paamayim Nekudotayim.

Paamayim Nekudotayim would, at first, seem a strange choice for a
double-colon. However, at the time of writing of Zend Engine 0.5
(which powered PHP3), that is what Andi and Zeev decided to call
it. It actually does mean double-colon - in Hebrew! As PHP has
progressed with its development it has just never changed.

php4:

Hi,

I'm trying to use PEAR's DB class with the new PHP 5 MySQLi support on
MySQL 4.1.3, using this example from the PEAR's docs (with my parameters
of course). I'm getting "DB unknown error" messages after the query. The
same query from the mysql client works fine, there are no connection
problems... anyone has tried PEAR with mysqli?.

<?php
// Create a valid DB object named $db
// at the beginning of your program...
require_once 'DB.php';

$db =& DB::connect('mysqli://prueba:clave127.0.0.1:3306/mibase');
if (DB::isError($db)) {
    die($db->getMessage());
}

// Proceed with a query...
$res =& $db->query('SELECT * FROM users');

// Always check that result is not an error
if (DB::isError($res)) {
    die($res->getMessage());
}
?>

result:

DB Error: unknown error

Regards,
Rodolfo.

Hi,

you should ask this on the PEAR general mailing list.

This isn't nearly fair. Some of the PHP lists still have spam coming
in on them, so whitelisting it will let the spam in.

Well then, it *does* sound like something isn't right here.

I'm sure there are many ways to do this.

as mentioned already, use a column in the table to order the query and
then use LIMIT to only to return one record. Best columns to use would
be an auto_increment or a datetime field type.

And why is this so more urgent than any other email? and what does
any of this have to any thing to do with PHP? perhaps you meant

I've run into a small bump in some code I'm writing for a membership
database. The first thing that needs to be done is an index of all
states in the US with members. The fun part is that the state
information is stored as the abbreviation in the database (ie MI, WI)
and the HTML page needs to display the full name of the State. I want to
display the information in a four column table that kicks out as many
rows as needed. Now in order to get the full name of the state, I'm
running the state result through a switch statement. Actaully, it's
working rather well expect for this little issue:

Row 8: South Dakota Tennessee Texas Virgina
Row 9: West Virgina Wisconsin Texas Virgina

I need to kill that extra Texas and Virgina.....here's how I'm doing this:

<table border=1>
<?
$query=mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT state FROM members WHERE
country='US' ORDER BY state ASC");
while($q=mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
$q1=mysql_fetch_array($query);
$q2=mysql_fetch_array($query);
$q3=mysql_fetch_array($query);
$q4=mysql_fetch_array($query);

(4 Switch statements here one for q1, q2, q3, q4)
?>

<tr><td><?= $state1 ?></td><td><?= $state2 ?></td><td><?= $state3
?></td><td><?= $state4 ?></td></tr>

<?
}
?>

Any thoughts, let me know if more information is needed.

TIA.

I would change the loop so you are only calling mysql_fetch_array
once. Are you sure that this loop is working correctly?

at the bottom of your while loop try this:

unset($state1,$state2,$state3,$state4,$q1, $q2, $q3, $q4);

Try something more like this:

<table>
 <tr>
<?php
// Assuming this ($statenames) is a full list
// and that uppercase appreviations come from the DB
// and that you implement error handling
$statenames = array('WA' => 'Washington', 'OR' => 'Oregon');
$i = 1;
$count = mysql_num_rows($query);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
    echo "\t<td>". $statenames[$row['state']] ."</td>\n";
    if (($i % 4) === 0 && $count !== $i++) {
        echo "</tr>\n<tr>\n";
    }
}
?>
 </tr>
</table>

Hi, what is in your opinion is the best way to convert from JavaScript to
PHP.... What I'm not entirely sure of is the
"char_set.indexOf(input.charAt())"..... It look pretty tricky....

--snip--
     var algorithm = 8;

     for (loop=0; loop<input.length; loop++)
     {
        //search char_set string for character and set char_code variable...
        char_code = char_set.indexOf(input.charAt(loop));

        //opposite of encrypt algorithm goes here
        if (char_code - algorithm < 0) {
           space = algorithm - char_code;
           char_code = char_set.length - space;
        } else {
           char_code -= algorithm;
        }

        //set output variable in accordance to char_set
        output += char_set.charAt(char_code);
     }
--snip--
